I may be young
Compared to some
Its true
But I dont feel that way when I talk to you

Ive known very little
And in my thoughts I fettle
Trying to make sense of what I have known
considering the meaning of everything ive been shown

The good, bad, and in between
Seems theres been to much in between for me to believe
That the good really exists
I kind of think maybe its gone extinct

But dont listen to me
Im a bit of a hypocrite, you see
So dont take my words to heart
And I can tell wont because you're far too smart
To belive someone who only plays a part
in her life that seems to have become a lousy show
Not even a good one.. Well I quit. These lines, this play, this scene I will throw
And the girl you thought you knew will be no more
Im not sure how this one came about

I don't want to write something sad
I don't want to write something while on the brink of tears
I don't want to write something filled with fears

I want to write something beautiful
I want to write something equivalent to a summer morning
One where the trees look black against the dim sunrise and the birds sing and the wind blows gently as if to rejoice in the new days light once again

I want to write something worth remembering
Like the first time one sees the northern lights in the dark winter sky
Like the red, green and blue dancing across the stars

I want to write something that makes someone smile
I want to write something that makes someone stop and think for a moment
I want to write something that someone somewhere finds something in
I want to write something that hasn't been written before in other words

But alas, when I write I get lost in the dark
In the cold
In the fact that the stars are so far away and aurora borealis isnt something magical but is caused by solar flares
In the fact that with anything good something bad almost always follows

I wanted to write something beautiful
I wanted to make someone somewhere smile

I can see the colors and hear the birds
I can feel the breeze and smell the sweet smell given off of bluming trees
But to everything beautiful there is something ugly

Why do I always find myself writting about the ugly?
"But Hey! Don't listen to me! 'cos this wasn't meant to be no sad song .
I've sung too much of that before" - The island

This write is awfully long and slightly repetitive

The perfect weekend spent with you.
Long car rides with nothing to do,
I starred out the window trying to remember the exact moment I fell in love with you.
We didn't have far to go,
But it made me realize there's somethings you really should know.
When you wrapped your arms around me at the end of the day,
I wish it could be replayed,
But There's no place I would've rather been,
Than with you under the white covers right then.
Thank you for a wonderful weekend even tho it was in the middle of the week.. It felt like the perfect end to a week

Your work makes me think and makes me smile
Smile in a sad way every once and awhile
Thank you for being honest
and for being blut
For saying things others don't
and for being up frunt
Your inspiring
Is it tiering?
Having so many thoughts in your head?
Just waiting to be put on paper
Just waiting to be admired and read
A little rough. I don't know, is it weird to write a poem about someone you don't know?
Destre' Jun 2015
I can't think straight
because I still smell like you
Ill go mad at this rate
Id never admit its true
But you send my head spinning with just a glance
And the worst part is you havent the slightest clue
I know theres no chance
For me and you
ill smile still even when you talk about your latest romance
Because thats what best friend's do

Somtimes I say things that are random
And somtimes you dont quite get it
But you have no idea; couldnt ever fathom
The things id do for you and your quick witt
Should you ever ask
Id walk a mile
No matter the task
Just to see you smile

I'm afraid I'm falling like I've fallen before,
I'm afraid of the dark hole that awaits me
if I let myself fall anymore,
But I can't seem to stop slipping.
I'm doing what I can,
I'm really trying here,
But everything I'm trying to grab ahold of,
Seems to up and disappear
A losing battle between past, present and future.  Between loneliness and dispare.
Destre' Dec 2015
You hold me in a state of beautiful misery,
invited agony.
Loving you is painful bliss,
welcomed heartbreak.
Everything and nothing at all,
perfectly imperfect,
overly complicated and overly simple,
you hold me in a state of beautiful misery.
But I want nothing less, I knew what I was getting into.

My Words
My thoughts
my lines
None of it works
Some of it rhymes
is it even supposed to rhyme?
It takes up so much time
wasted time?
Maybe
But I like wasting my time
With little notes and little rhymes
A thought here
And a doodle there
but whats the point?
Does there have to be a point?
Cant we just be
Cant we speak and laugh and doodle and rhyme  
And all chime in together to have a good time
Without there really being a point?
I believe your rambling again
Yes, yes I know
My apologies and good day
misses and misters
Good sir's and good ma'am's
Oh goodness, im making no sense again
This should probably go directly into the trash
But ill share it anyway, simply because I can

There are things to do and a routine to follow
So why is it when I'm alone I'm left feeling so hollow?
Destre' Sep 2016
I have moments
I have moments where things fall away
Where the world is fuzzy
I have moments where things fade to grey
Where the world becomes dark
I have these moments where I can't think
Where I want to scream
I have these moments I can't explain
And yet, I have moments
I have moments where everything seems clear
Where things start to become light
These moments when the world flushes back to color
And I start to write
I have moments where I get lost
Destre' Oct 2016
Leave the door unlocked And a light on
Let me sneak through your room at the break of dawn
I'll wake you with a kiss
And other things you wouldn't want to miss
As you open your eyes
You'll find a lovely surprise
*"You're good at this"
"Funny, it's not like I've had much practice"
Destre' May 2015
My mind begins to race
And i struggle to keep up with the chase
My imagination runs wild
But honestly im really tierd
Why cant my mind let me rest
Maybe it feels I need to process and digest
But you see, id have to disagree
Because I dont want to think about climbing a tree
Why cant my mind let me be
Id really like it right now if I were asleep
I cant sleep
Destre' Oct 2015
Your heartbeat thumps steady and clear
Your eyes are kind, hidden pasts lay beneath their grey
when you hold me close vanishing is all fear

When you walk through the door smiles appear
When you leave i dream of a new day
your heartbeat thumps steady and clear

For you as tribute I would volunteer
For me distance means nothing as long as you meet me halfway
when you hold me close vanishing is all fear

every word I write is always sincere
every secret, worry, and wonder, in front of you i will lay
your heart beat thumps steady and clear

As you breath it's a sweet melody I love to hear
As you look at me there's so much I want to say
when you hold me close vanishing is all fear

In no way could anyone change my mind dear
In my feelings for you there is no delay
our heartbeat thumps steady and clear
when you hold me close vanishing is all fear

When writing is forced usually it turns into compleat ****
have to write a sonnet with iambic pentameter for my creative writing class
Destre' Nov 2015
Today you will learn.
You will learn because I'll tell you how.
You will listen because you want to know.
This isn't a class room of grey walls,
squeaky desks,
and an over done curriculum.
Today you will learn because I'll show you how
When you shut your mouth,
When you sit quietly and become part of the background,
When you learn to see
but seem as though you are not looking
When you learn to hear
but seem as though you are not listening
When the information isn't being pounded into your head
but is being nudged towards you
When you learn to figure things out on your own
When you learn that it's okay to be alone
Maybe then the world will start to make sense
Just watch, listen, I promise you'll learn a lot
*Class dismissed
Being a wall flower, being quiet, isn't a bad thing.. You can learn a lot if you just learn to pay attention

The world crashes in on itself
Mixing into a conglomeration of colors and blurry shapes
Breathe
I close my eyes and try to focus
My chest moves up and down as if I'd just got done running
Only
I haven't moved
And as it moves I know there should be air filling my lungs but I can't seem to get enough
Can't seem to
Take
A deep
Breath
My head feels light
Like it's floating on clouds just waiting
To come
crashing
down
Breathe
What's wrong with me I'm pathetic Get a grip
Calm. down.
My thoughts scream!

Just breathe

But I can't
The world won't stop spinning
My chest won't stop moving
And my lungs won't fill
**I can't breathe
Try pretending to blow out a candle

Its how i get through my shity creative writing class
Destre' Oct 2015
Sitting down
An empty notebook in front of me
A pencil in hand
How do I write this
Knowing it will be read aloud
Shared
A piece of me
Shared with others I don't trust
of whom I see everyday yet, don't know
Will they abuse the knowledge, the insight, the possibility of power over me, I'm giving them?
I could write it about something else
about someone else
Someone who as effected me
Who has changed me, made an impact in my life
but I don't want to
This is something I need to write
maybe it'll help me cope
maybe it'll help me move on
This is something I need to write
but I'm not sure its something that needs to be shared
but I'm not sure they'd even care
(probably best that they don't)
I'm painting a picture with words
detailed enough so they can see
vaguely enough so they might not understand:
                                       That I'm giving them a piece of me
I have issues with trust. Its different when your face to face, when you have to see them everyday, than posting somewhat anonymously in an, in my experience, accepting environment that is hello poetry.  Preparing myself for embarrassment and over vulnerability.. I'm doing this to myself
Destre' Oct 2015
Shaky and nervous
Don't stutter don't stutter
Bright lights
Oh please don't stutter
Don't stumble
breathe
breathe
just breathe
mouth open and then closed again
false start
breathe
flying
falling
roller coaster
Cliff edge
*
jump
Oh, don't get sick
No, not now
Deep breath
The words just wont come out
Eyes
so many eyes
All looking, all wondering
Have to start
Words
Words racing
Breathe
Read
Passion
Calm
Seemingly collected
Head spinning
Too fast?
Too slow?
Please don't stutter
Deep breath
Done
Silence
The eyes seem to have drifted else where
Maybe they never were really there at all
*They couldn't care less.
this happens to me every time

Rest is hard for a heavy heart
Destre' Dec 2017
Im trying to get back into this writting thing, you see?
Because I feel like I've lost touch with a huge part of me.
When I write I sound diffrent than I do in my head,
diffrent than how I sound laying in bed,
You see? I'm trying to resurrect this part of me that's dead
(Or dying)

I miss it,
I miss thinking for myself,
(Not that I've ever thought for someone else)
but I want to get back in my skin.
Not deep enough to drown,
just deep enough to make a sound.
new years resolution: Write something every day, even if its short and not very good.
Destre' Dec 2015
Id rather sleep in the cold than to burn under blankets
Is it a metaphor??
Agreed, I think it sounds better after being revised. :)

Destre' Apr 2015
Sleep take me away
Make my eye lids grow heavy and darkin my sight until there is only black
Make the sounds fade to silence for all except the gentle hum of a fan
Make every part of me relax and go limp

Sleep take me away
Take me away to a land where none of this maters
Away to where there is no war, no fights, and no pettie problems

Sleep take me away
Away to a far off place where there is no stress and the only thing to worry about is witch tree to climb

Sleep take me away to where I can rest with out nightmares
to where I can walk with confidence or fly through the sky
to where I can be alone and watch the summer stars
or to where I can be with a group of people and not feel alone

Sleep take me away
Take me to a place where I can, and there is no 'i cant'
Take me away to where I can learn
Take me to somwhere far away Sleep, please, take me away

I welcome you sleep, with all that i am
Please wash over me and make me forget

Sleep take it away
Take away my pain
Take away my thoughts
Take away my smiles if you must but please, sleep
Take it away
Take ME away

Sweet smoke in her lungs
clouds fill her head
Move down to a sticky feeling between her legs
pushed past her stomach and intestines; buried in her guts
flashes of fresh fruit come dancing across her bed
 Strawberries, Bananas
 Peaches and Pomegranates
Her stomach in her throat
Her heart pounding in her head
A rapid heart beat and sparkling nausea leaves things unsaid

We're trains on two different tracks,
Living parallel lives, only passing by.
I have dreams of a head on collision,
One where the breaks are hit just fast enough so neither one of us is comepleatly destroyed.

But I might not mind being destroyed by you
if you take your time with me
Destre' Mar 2016
Once so close
Now so far
Two trains on parallel tracks
With no chance of a head on collision
I think I need to take a step back
Set a pen to these pages and start making some revisions
Takin' a look, past, present, future, I have no plan but maybe it's time to make one

It still hangs above the kitchen table
   Torn down the center and patched with a single strip of of duct tape
His skin painted white
   His eyes blue and bloodshot
His lips glossed with the color of blood from a fresh wound
  
   *He sits
unable to speak
   unable to tell of all he's seen
unable to share his knowledge with the clueless
   unable to warn them


He silently hangs on the faded yellow wall
   torn and damaged
faded and discolored
  discolored with splatters of this
or sprays of that

  
*no one knows but him
and there he will always be
   on the wall
above the kitchen table
   silent and watching

they call her pretty but that comes from few
They don't know whats true because they can't see through
All the fake smiles and laughs, she seems happy and such
That guard of hers might not be thick enough
She sees the stares
but pretends she doesn't care
all the while wishing to be anywhere but there
She keeps to herself and thats all right
No one knows
No ones there to hear her cry at night
in the morning when the sun starts to shine bright
She'll pull down her sleeves, wipe her tears and start all over again
heading out
always forgetting to turn out the light
Destre' Apr 2015
You make my skin crawl
The thought of you is no fun at all
You're sick
You're twisted
Your existence is nothing but a joke
A disgrace

Your voice makes me shudder
The thought of your eyes on me makes me scream
Your eyes
Your smile
Your cynical laugh and souther drawl
It all makes me sick
You're redicules
A joke
You got cought

Who are you anyway?
Your a vile
Disgusting
Insulent
Preverted
Puthetic Excuse of a person
You're not worth my time
And yet,
You haunt me
Your memory takes away my sanity
Defiles it
Destroys it
You're always there
In the back of my mind
Durring the day
Its there
Late at night it comes to strike
It takes away my only relief!
It SCREAMS
"You're not safe"
Because of you I am lost
You fill me with fear
Your memory haunts me

You make my skin crawl
The thought of you is no fun at all

With each inch the caterpillar crawls
the leaf it's after is blown another foot

With every flower the bee buzzy around
there are five more that need to be visited

With every page turned
there are a million more to read

In the end
when the rain clouds have cleared
and the wind no longer blows
through good and bad
I'll be there

when things get hard and you're drifting
I'll grab you by the hand and guide you back to me
when you start to lose your balance and it seems like you might fall
I'll steady you and assure you everything's alright

I'll be there
through good and bad
when the rain clouds have cleared
and the wind no longer blows
in the end i'll still be holding your hand

when the mountains keep climbing higher and nothing's getting any easier
when you feel like you can't take another step
I'll be the shoulder you can lean on
we’ll climb this mountain together
you don't have to do this on your own

because what's the point in loving if i'm going to leave at the first sign of trouble
when your world has become a tornado threatening to be your undoing
and you don't know where to go
I'll do my best to be your anchor until you can find your way into the eye of the storm

In the end
when the rain clouds have cleared
and the wind no longer blows
through good and bad
I'll be there

I have no fear of this
I won't walk away
when all signs are pointing to a terrible ending
I'll take my pen and rewrite the story

When the sun shows itself once again
I'll be there holding your hand
through good and bad
I'm not going anywhere

Your anchor
your gravity
a shoulder to lean on
someone to rewrite this ending
I'll do what I can to be what you need

I'll be there
through good and bad
when the rain clouds have cleared
and the wind no longer blows
in the end
I'll still be holding your hand
For him.
One day I want to try to set this to music.
Destre' Jan 2016
In the darkness of day
And the light of night
I'll talk to the stars
And listen to the whispers of the wind

As my vision blurs
And time becomes distorted
I'll dance under the eyes of the moon
And sing to the clouds
I'll chase the sun as it sets on the horizon
And as I run I'll get lost in the rush of colors all around

In the depths of white
And the shallows of black
Where the asphalt meets the sidewalk
meets the grass
I'll lay
And stare up at the trees
who'll stare back down at me
We'll have a staring contest
Untill finally I fall asleep
Destre' Sep 2015
I read so much of some peoples work
I go to their profile and just scroll down
Reading up from wherever I land
I'm interested, intrigued, indefinitely
I can always find something to consume my mind
For minutes
For hours
For days at a time
Filling my thoughts with questions and worries, of "what ifs"
With contemplation, I read every word, with some, I memorize every line
If asked I'm sure I could recite ones poem or two
I'm never sure what to do when ones work leaves me reeling, wondering
wondering about them
wondering about who they are and what inspires them
About what they know, of what they might have been through
maybe that's a little intrusive?
But knowing Ill most likely never know the answers
I've become okay with just wondering, pondering, the possible "what ifs" and "how's"
It's become a hobby, more of a habit, really, when happening upon something amazing
I read it again and again
until its stuck in my head
like a song with a catchy tune stuck on repeat
I don't mind
but it does make me think
I wonder if people find it odd when they get the notification that i just like something of theirs from 2 or 3 years ago..
Destre' Aug 2015
Nothing else can compare
The feeling is truly rare
One of a kind
The best high you'll ever find

One glance and you can't help but smile
Even though it's been awhile
The thought of them will always drive you wild

As cheesy as it may be
Their your perfect cup of tee
You never want them to go away
Please just stay
Five more minutes, one more hour
Maybe they could be the bee and you could be the flower

A minute with them is like watching a beautiful sunrise ten thousand times
You don't want to rewind
Nor replay
Because you cherish every moment with them
Each and every new day
In everyway

Their perfect in your eyes And always will be
All their flaws you can see
But you accept them completly
Because love is strong and love is kind
I don't think love is blind
Love is knowing all and being willing to leave the bad things behind
Love is forgiveness
Love is trying, even with some distance
For him

I hate days like today, you know that, days were everything seemed good then just one thing after another are or go completely stupid but I feel I have no right to complain, whats the point anyway, what good does it do, and somtimes I fear I make no sence at all..

Destre' May 2015
Oh what you'd look like portrayed in ink
Captured by someone who admires your physical shell
As well as the way you think

Kind hearted caring and smart
Oh the things someone could do with you
For the sake of art

Ill take your hand and we'll go away
Stop for a minute when the lighting is just right
Ill snap a picture quick so i can remember this later tonight

Let me draw you
Paint you and scalpt you
Because in the morning when you go
Its all ill have to show
That in the vast world of time
For a brief second you were mine
Not really, but I can dream tho, right?

"How have I never noticed the world is this pretty?"

A terrified little girl resides inside her.
So She built a wall,
Of 8 feet tall,
To try and keep her at bay.

She did her best, and pushed and shoved, saying I will not let my fear be my maker.
But alas the wall was built of sticks and straw,
And one day will be blown away.

Truth be told when the wall does fall,
So will the girl who tried to rise above it all,
And the fear that she's kept locked up,
Will finally come out to play.

She was fighting a battle,
that she couldn't handle,
All she wanted was to be okay.
And now left alone,
chilled to the bone,
She slowly starts to decay.

Your hot breath on my neck
Sweet kisses
And soft bites

Your hand on my ***
The other in my hair
Pulling
Pulling me up
Pulling me closer

Were pressed up against eachother
Chest to chest
Groin to groin
One of your legs in between mine
Pinning me to the wall

I can feel your ******* pressing against my leg
I can feel your need
I can feel your want
And it makes me moan

Your hand trailing down my back
Under my shirt
Across my stomach
Up
Up

My heads spinning
I feel like im floating
A little voice whispers in my head
Pleades
Oh please
Oh please
Tuch me

So, this is what that feels like
To want someone

Oh please
Oh please
Wait
Voices, voices
Compare and contrast
Pros and cons

Your lips part against my neck
And I feel your hot breath
Then the moan of your sweet pleading whisper
"oh please, come on baby"

And im lost
Lost in you
Lost in your tuch
Lost in your lips against my neck
My shoulder
My coller bone
My... mmm

And all I can think about is how much I want you
Here
Now
Slow
Hard
Your lips
On me
Oh, please
Its all in my head

How do you write without feeling
How to you express yourself without meaning
If theres No reason
If theres no yearning
If there were no one eager for learning
If no ones speaking and no ones listening
If there's no one thinking
and no one questioning
If there are no tears
No fears
No fists of rage
No love and no hate
Then wouldn't we be left empty?
Are we really destined for this fate?
If there is no meanings and no feelings then there is nothing
Then arnt we left with nothing?
Is this destiny of youthful generations
with seemingly nothing to say
but about "how hot" there precious  little boyfriends are
and about "how grose they are"
because there 105 pounds and 5ft 3 because apparently they should only be 93 lb
Because 105 is apparently just to heavy
Is this destiny set in stone?
Or merly written in the fine print of a ****** contract that no one cared to read?
Is there some loophole we can slip through?
Can we undo the lack of what has been
done?
Or are we condemed
to the sad nothing I keep hearing we've become
Did I use the wrong there?? .-. I always get them mixed up

I wish I could find peace in the stars I see
Inbeween the rustling leaves of the trees being roused by the calm summer breeze
But my heads too clouded
So I cant, you see, see the beautiful stars as there ment to be seen
For now my eyes are closed because the view was obstructed
By the **** leaves of these haunting trees
Maybe they didnt want me to see
What selfish trees with their many leaves
Maybe im not supposed to find peace
What is peace really anyways?

The person behind the screen
Whats does your voice sound like?
You're just a picture to me
What goes through your head?
What makes your heart beat?
You're just a picture to me
What inspires you?
What gets you going?
What makes you tick?
What do you find frustrating?
Flustering?
You're just a picture to me
To the person behind the screen
I'm curious

What do you do
When your all alone
And your mind betrays you

When your all alone and without much hope
How do you cope
How do you know that anything is true
When your own mind betrays you

When nothing is clear
And you seem to be filled with irrational fear
For nothing and everything at the same time
You cant go back, and you cant rewind

But you dont know what to do
Would anyone even believe you?
who can you trust?
as your life starts to collect dust
And you relize *its not only your mind that has betrayed you

I Ment to say hello
Five letters
Four slightly different shapes my mouth wouldve formed
Three seconds or less to pronounce
Two syllables
One, simple word
But I thought about it for five minutes too long
As you took four steps in the opposite direction
There were three moments in which I could've called after you
two seconds where I almost did
There was one simple word that I really Ment to say
Hi
Destre' Nov 2015
My eyes burn
Or maybe it's just my head that hurts
Please stop talking
I can't bare another word
Stop for the sake of my sanity
If you keep going on Im bound to use some profanity
I won't be able to help myself you see
Because what's spilling out of your mouth is a travisty
Stop now
please stop, before you force me to make an *** out of us both
But mainly just out of you. I promise you won't like me when I'm done. So please stop. Your redicules.

— The End —
